Whether you are curling up by the open fire with a great book or hosting a dinner party in the expansive open-plan living and dining room, the house adapts to your needs. A bright conservatory and a country-style kitchen—complete with stable door—draw the eye toward the garden, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.

The house bathroom is spacious and comes with separated walk-in storage.
The rear garden offers a peaceful escape from the world. Plenty of space for relaxation and play, and complete with a patio for summer evenings. A garage and driveway provide practical convenience to this enchanting package.
Skipwith itself is one of the most sought-after and tranquil villages in the local area - a true sanctuary away from the daily hustle and bustle. It sits a very short walk from Skipwith Common nature reserve, an incredible outdoor space for those who enjoy walking in nature. For those who enjoy their afternoons spent socialising with a wonderful meal and a few drinks, the nearby Drovers Arms is an award-winning gastropub, well known for attracting patrons from far and wide.
The village is well positioned for commuters, being just a few miles from the A19 and with direct routes into York. It also has straightforward access to the M62 motorway. For those commuting by rail, Selby station sits less than 7 miles away with direct regular services to Leeds, York, Hull, Manchester, Doncaster and even London.
